The Ashes Series

Create a stunning image of a medal designed for The Ashes Series, featuring a circular shape with a diameter of 3 inches, crafted from polished silver with intricate gold accents. The medal is suspended from a deep maroon ribbon, adorned with subtle cricket bat and ball motifs woven into the fabric. On the front, the medal showcases an embossed depiction of two crossed cricket bats, surrounded by laurel leaves, while the reverse side features the engraved text “The Ashes Champion” along with the year. The color scheme includes rich gold, silver, and maroon, symbolizing victory and tradition. Illuminate the scene with soft, dramatic lighting that highlights the medal's reflective surfaces, set against a blurred background of a cricket pitch at sunset, capturing the essence of competition and sportsmanship. The perspective should be a close-up, slightly angled view to emphasize the medal's details and craftsmanship.
